Other reviewers said it. Well filmed but, at heart, this is no more than a telenovela. About as detached from the real world and as implausible. Child abuse, homosexuality, abortion, adultery - the film glides through it all, hardly making a wave. Zoe is pregnant but the father does not want to hear about it? No problem, her gay friend conveniently offers to be the father. Oh, that's settled, then.
The actors are OK, no more. Mori is beautiful, very beautiful but one single facial emotion carries her throughout the film. To be fair, none of the actors has much of a character to work off. The gay friend is as cliché as if taken right from the Birdcage, but with no appearance of this being meant to be funny.
The writer could also have paid more attention to details. The baby is called Juan Ignacio in the email sent to Gonzalo but his grandmother calls him Jose Ignacio in the following scene. Ignacio asks for Zoe Edwards at the hotel reception. They obviously know her by that name but the groom calls her Mrs. Berkley 5mn later.
